    Cut a set of longer, better bangs and push them forward so the shorter pieces you don't like can stay hidden until they grow out.

    Hair grows about half an inch every month. Try wearing a headband or pulling your bangs back with bobby pins.

    You could either own up and tell the truth, because they will love you know matter what, or you could hide it under a headband or hat until it grows long enough to be hidden with the rest of your hair.

    The average hair growth rate is a half inch per month. You can try using headbands to pull the bangs back, or try to pin or braid them back. Try embracing them even if it is hard!
  • Question
    Can I cut off my bangs completely?
    Community Answer
    Cutting off your bangs will not fix it, as hair grows back. It won't look good. When it grows back, it'll stick about an inch off of your scalp, and you'll look like a unicorn. If you don't want bangs anymore, try using the tips above, like using a headband, pinning it back, and let it just grow out. Then you can part your hair in a different way so the bangs won't even be bangs anymore.

    My fringe is too long and it makes it hard to see. How do I resolve this problem?
    Community Answer
    Use bobby pins and hair bands. Basically, you part your hair and pin it in back by twisting it once. You could also shape your hair into a Pompadour, or braid your fringe.

    My bangs look really horrible but are too short to pin back. I can put my hair back in a band, but it makes me look like a kid. What should I do?

    Get a bobby pin and pin the bangs under the longer hair, so it looks like you don't have any bangs.

    Try slicking them back, then putting on a beanie. During breaks, you can secretly readjust your beanie in the bathroom to make sure your hair is in check.

    Yes, hair grows back, but it can take time. Bangs grow half an inch per month.
  • Question
    My bangs are too short, but I look awful with my hair back, as my forehead is too big. So pinning to the sides or wearing a headband or just exposing my head aren't viable options.

    If you don't want to wear hair clips or a headband, wear a cute hat until the bangs grow to your desired length!

    Use bobby pins or multiple small hairclips. If that doesn't work, try wearing a headband, which can cause the bangs to push back.

    Try the wet look. Or you could try pinning them back with a hair clip or bobby pin. You could also try owning up to your parents and asking for help with paying to see a hairdresser.

    I went in to get a medium length bob. I asked for it 1/2 an inch above the shoulder, and slight fringe on the sides, not bangs. I left with what looks like a bowl cut. What do I do?

    Style that cut away: Short double Dutch braids or braided pigtails are so cute. There are tutorials on how to do these all over the internet if you are unsure.

    I cut my bangs, then cut them right off. Now there’s about half an inch of fringe sticking off my head, what do I do?

    Try using a strong hair gel to slick it back and tie the rest of your hair into a slick low pony or a plait. Or, you could purchase a false fringe and cover it up. Remember, this is only temporary, your hair will grow back before you know it!

    You can use the method above to hide your bangs if you aren't satisfied with them. For me, I tied my short bangs and pulled them to the back of the hair.
